yay for product placement

so that is your hat! Nice one!
Now.. go get a coca cola hat

Nice hat Pepsi-Wolf, but I like mine better.
The hat and Kingston flashdrive are two of the many things I got free from Pepsistuff.com. I made off with +$125 worth of stuff! Yeah, that was the day I ruined the promotion for tens of millions of people across the United States . (Pepsi also banned me from their site, it's a long story.)

and one that we all want to hear!!

I'll tell you the PepsiCo promo treasure;

As you may know, many sodas like Coke and Pepsi have those codes underneath the bottle caps. Add them together, and you can collect prizes.
Well, PepsiCo was having a "special" promo on their site http://www.pepsistuff.com, it alowed people to enter their email address to get 5 free points, I entered mine, and got the code. Before I exited the browser, a " " thought came to mind, "What if I enter MORE than one address?". And I entered another and got an aditional 5 points!
I knew I was making a treasure trove of some college kids mistake! I collected emails from friends, foes, family, fwd addressees, big-bizzes like Dish network, and even addresses from attorneys in the phone book! eventualy, I collected more than 600 points, and got +$125 dollars worth of promo gifts !

Even though this "online theft" was 100% legal, PepsiCo threatened to press charges against me . I didn't want to get into a legal battle with THE PepsiCo, and I already got what I wanted, so, I just did what they said. And I never went back.
They canceled the promo a whole month ahead of schedule.

I look back on that time...
And I wonder................

...How many people may have had the same idea!!!

But thats the story.

Should anyone have questions or comments, you can respond to me. I'll be glad to talk!

So I guess this is the "Hats" thread?
Well, the Pepsi~Cola hat was just one of my hats! I still have more should anyone want to see . Like my USCAP battle cover! Maybe I could show you all my Battle Dress Uniform too...

i guess this could be the official hat thread
